Looking back now, reading this was similar to reading a Patricia Highsmith novel. Two couples and a very weird child take a trip to Siracusa and nothing will ever be the same again. Love triangles, naughty desires, sophisticated and rich prose--all here. Personally, I quite enjoyed the story as each character and their quirks are revealed, even though I couldn't relate to any of them. Sort of liked Lizzy, though, starting from the point early on when she said she didn't go in for using hand sanitizers. Me neither! They don't remove dust and dirt and are just plain gross. Lizzy, thank you, it needed to be said!
But that has not much to do with the plot of course. Not much can be said about that without ruining all the small reveals that lead up to the BIG reveal. The ending and what all the adults decided to do about the big little problem is just crazy. I highly recommend.
